Phone owned for less than a year

This phone is good in earlier days later it had got most problem like hanging, Lcd Problem Voice disturbance etc and the battery pick up is very excellent the main drawback is repeated complaints. and while opening a facebook app the phone is automatically switch off and the system turn on. operating is also very slow i think this is not a better phone.

Doesn't worth to buy
Phone owned for less than a year

I have this phone for nearly 9-10 months. It has Bada OS. 1.1. There is no version update for it. And the phone is very slow. It frozes for 2-3 seconds when there is a new message. It has an application store. But there isn't good apps on it. UI is not horrible, but it isn't have anything special. It have music recognition and it is very useful.
There is much better phones than this.If you want to have a good phone, don't buy this. It's slow. This is the biggest problem.
